There’s yet to be any major odds moves on a winner, but Rory McIlroy is the favorite throughout the market, priced around +1000. After his recent split with fiancee and tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki, he won the European PGA Championship and is in good form. Usual powers like Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott are lurking among the top favorites, but it’s up-and-coming Jordan Spieth at +1800 who is currently drawing the highest number of future bets at CRIS. This is consistent with bettors in Vegas, who have been all over Spieth as well:

Spieth is worth watching and could be a household name even to casual golf viewers soon. Despite no Tiger in the field, young talents like Spieth and McIlroy make for some very interesting opening round and tournament matchups to bet:
